Henry Gissey
Henry Gissey is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Henry Gissey made early 18th-century prints of Parisian dance teachers and theatre types. One survives as a black-and-white portrait of Monsr Gilles Platfues, maître de danse à l’Académie des Lourdeaux. The print gives us a sharp shoulder, a ruffled collar, and a name you can still look up today. Tap the image to zoom in on those tiny etched lines.
